  All Aluminum Frame with tuned Flex
BMS project 2 Leveraging their decades of frame tuning expertise, BMS developed a first in pocket bike frames, tuned frame flex. BMS's frames are second to none. They are made 100% of light weight aluminium with the tuned flex that no other frame can match.

The BMS frame gives the rider better feel through corners allowing for higher entry and corner speeds. The tuned flex also allows the otherwise rigid frame to absorb bumps that might cause other bikes to lose traction and crash.

Keep an eye out at the track, those other bikes will be chattering their wheels off mid-corner while the BMS is as smooth as glass.
  
  Billet wheels and hubs
BMS project 2 While most manufacturers have cast steel or cast aluminum wheels and some manufacturers offer billet aluminum wheels as an upgrade at additional cost, BMS ships every machine with precision five spoke light weight billet aluminum wheels.

These wheels are machined from a solid block of aluminum, not cast in an imprecise mold. The machined wheels are precision crafted for perfect balance.

This perfect balance prevents wheel chatter and any other balanced related handling problems from slowing you down. Combine these beauties with the tuned flex frame and you will understand why BMS bikes are the known as the best handling bar none. The removable hubs make changing the tires that much easier.
  
  Billet Aluminum Triple Clamps
BMS project 2 The rider's input into the handlebars is transfered to the forks and front wheel through the triple clamp.

It is critical that bearings move gracefully in their races, and nothing prevents smooth movement in the steering head. By machining the triple clamp from solid aluminum, BMS has guaranteed a precise and controlled movement in the steering head.

Cast triple clamps have play in them and this inprecision in manufacturing causes slight to severe headshake creating uneven wear and poor handling. The billet aluminum triple clamps are just one more reason why BMS bikes handle better, stay in tune and last longer.

Again the superior performance of billet aluminum is the reason you will find the the clip-on that holds the handle bar onto the forks is made of billet aluminum.

The last thing you want to have happen is to have a clip-on break from metal fatigue or a simple low speed crash. In the unfortunate circumstance that something does break, the BMS two piece design allows for quick single piece replacement, reducing down time and repair cost.

Some bike manufacturers have one piece cast handle bars. The adjustable two piece design used by BMS allows full adjustment of the bar placement; height, angle, length.  This gives the rider complete comfort and reduces upper body fatigue.
  
 Brakes & Rotors
BMS project 2 Brakes are your life-line. That is why you will not find pot metal calipers on any BMS bike. By using billet aluminum, BMS has eliminated the wear issues so common to other manufacturers.

Bolts will not back themselves out of the caliper due to wear. Holes will not round, causing misalignment and possible brake seizure or other failures. Brake action is consistent and predictable over years. You won't have to worry about a piece breaking off the caliper.

Billet aluminum does not break or wear out like pot metal. These are so superior to anything else on the market, racers not running BMS bikes have recognized the superiority of these calipers and have added them on their bikes.
  
 Billet Aluminum Rearsets

BMS took note of every piece of their bikes. The rearsets that hold the footpeg onto the frame are also made of billet aluminum. They are lightened to decrease sprung weight while maintaining the strength of solid aluminum through cross-bracing. The rearsets are reversible in direction, allowing two different riding positions, forward or to the rear, to suit the rider's perference and size.
  
 Steering Damper
BMS project 2Our damper is a fully adjustable top mount no-leak billet steering damper. The prototype versions were develop and tested by the BMS Factory team in France.

Unlike other dampers on the market, BMS's damper leaves no oil residue on the dampening shaft. This no-leak/no-loss system prevents oil and dirt build up. Because it doesn't lose oil, the damper's life is significantly longer than other dampers. The damper installs with no hassle in only two minutes.

Dampening force is easily adjusted with a thumbscrew. After fitting the damper to our demo bike we managed to drop our average lap time at Kyalami Kart Circuit by over a second with no other changes to the bike.
